This year, both franchises, Battlefield and Call of Duty, benefited greatly from their beta periods. It helped the development team know what is wrong, take recommendations and feedback from their respective communities, and tweak the game accordingly, whether it is weapon balancing or glitches and bugs discovered randomly while playing.

Battlefield V is around a week away for those who ordered the game’s special edition. DICE released a long list of acknowledged issues and bugs to avoid any backlash or reports flooding in from the community. The studio provided a detailed list of problems, even platform specific issues, as well as a brief description of when and how the respective problem occurs and its fix status. Considering Battlefield V’s 139-pages long day one patch notes, some of these might get ironed out early on.

All Platforms

Amazon

Amazon offers in various regions missing / unavailable

When viewing the various Amazon stores, certain editions (or the product in general) does not appear to be listed, or shows as unavailable.

Status: Fix coming on worldwide launch.

Armory

Soldier / Clothing bundles / sets are unclear as to what they contain

When viewing the contents of the Soldier bundles in the Armory, it is not clear that the bundle contains both the base Torso and Leg items, but also the Rare variants. Instead, the impression is given that the legs and torso are listed twice in error.

Status: Current investigating.

Blued Set of STEN unlocks grip part instead of hand guard part as stated in its description

When self-healing as a Medic, and recently looting a fallen enemy’s ammo pouch, the self heal animation sometimes uses the incorrect pouch (ammo instead of health). Healing still occurs as it should though.

Status: Fix targeted for Chapter 1 update.

Issues with Medic Revival

Reports of inabilities to revive on server.

Status: Currently investigating.

Customization

Label on some facepaints

Well, facepaints do wash off, but we didn’t mean to leave that label on them.

Status: Current investigating.

Dog Tags & Emblems

Missing Alpha/Beta Dog Tags or Emblems

We’re working on making sure all players who should have these get them as soon as possible. We’ll be fixing this automatically as soon as we can, and we’re sorry for the delay.

Status: Current investigating.

Modes

Frontlines – Bomb(s) (on Devastation only)

One of the bombs may be hard/impossible to pick up for one of the teams. Worst outcome is that the match will continue in “HQ Attack” mode until the timer runs out.

Status: Fix targeted for Chapter 1 update.

Reinforcements

Reinforcement menu sticking

If you have the Reinforcement menu open when entering a vehicle, it may get stuck on your screen. While we’re working on this one, try to make sure you close the menu before spawning into a vehicle.

Australian players being added to a queue then when they get to the server are immediately kicked

Status: Current investigating.

“Missing Online Access”

Players are prompted with the “Missing Online Access” message at the main menu.

If the players don’t have any account infractions, this can often times be resolved by turning off DX12 in the video settings.

If that doesn’t work, they can still go ahead and contact support.

Status: Currently investigating.

Squads

Can’t join from the social screen with a full squad

We’re sorry, but this bug is proving tough to vanquish. If you have a full squad please join matches through the server selection screen instead.

Status: Current investigating.

Unlocks

When you reach Max Rank you no longer earn Company Coin.

We have identified an issue where players that have reached max rank are no longer awarded Company Coins. Players can still earn them with Special Assignments and Daily Orders.

Status: Currently investigating.

User Interface

Platoon tag is not visible in game chat

Platoon tag doesn’t appear in game chat near User’s name.

Status: Current investigating.

Vehicles

Spawning into Top Turret (Tanks)

When squad spawning into a tank, ending up in the top turret position, sometimes you’ll end up with an incorrect representation of your weapon and arms (they don’t follow your aim). Shooting still works fine, but visually it looks off.

Status: Current investigating.

War Stories

*SPOILER* Tirailleur – Player can bypass combat

Player can bypass most of the combat in the level by keeping left in the start, then right past the guard tower and far right around the crash site and running into the plane wreck.

Status: Current investigating.

PlayStation 4

Aim Assist

Aim assist in vehicles

Aim assist isn’t working the way it should on vehicle weapons on PlayStation 4. Our engineers are working on recalibrating them.

Status: Current investigating.

Crashes

Hanging after an update

If your PlayStation 4 gets stuck at connecting when you’re applying a manifest update in Battlefield V, you may need to restart your system. We’re currently working on a fix for this.

Status: Current investigating.

Battlefield V releases on November 20, 2018, for the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One platforms.
